It sounds appalling at first — Alec Baldwinlambasted the idea on HuffPo itself — but it's also addicting and maybe even purposeful. It could be liberating for those who've lived it: treat divorce as a normal part of life, for better or worse, rather than an affliction nobody can talk about.

But Nora Ephron, the high-profile divorce section editor-at-large, illustrated its nagging absurdity while attempting to justify it to the New York Times. “You think about all these people who buy magazines for weddings, something that takes, what? One year of your life?" she said. "But divorce is unending.”

If divorce gets its own section on one of the world's most read blogs, what is next? People magazine creating its own section for celebrity divorces, like babies and marriages? A glossy called Separate and a comedy titled Irreconcilable Differences?

It all asks a new question: Should divorce be embraced like a coming-of-age stage when it can be as a stressful as the loss of a job and death?

People has a poll up now to vote on whether a reality star and her husband should get divorced. We're kind of ready in on all this stuff. Look at the Mel Gibson situation and the "leaked" phone tapes. And Tiger Woods business was public too. As suppose as long as people read it: they will continue to print it.

In pursuit of a buck, nothing is sacred. Divorce is big business for lawyers... why shouldn't other industries get a piece of the pie?

Divorce as coming-of-age? Yeah, 2 people being dumb enough to actually publicly vow that they'll love each other forever, yet are irresponsible enough to make it work should have a coming-of-age stage.
